"Tom Ripley, who deals in forged art, suggests a picture framer he knows would make a good hit man."
"This film is a result of Wenders' enthusiasm for Patricia Highsmith's novels and also of his fascination with America which preoccupied him until his return to Berlin to make Wings of Desire. The moving trains and changing landscapes and the new world of the American gangster invade the Germany of the dying artisan Ganz. Wenders said that he equates American film directors with gangsters and here cast directors Hopper, Nick Ray and Sam Fuller as the art racketeers."@en

"In this suspense-filled crime thriller Dennis Hopper plays Ripley, a tortured, thoroughly amoral jet-set cowboy and art forger tied up with some sort of international art forgery ring, which in turn competes with a couple of rival branches of the Mafia. He befriends and then manipulates an innocent young Hamburg picture-framer named Jonathan Zimmerman (Bruno Ganz) who is suffering from a fatal blood-disease. Through a third party Ripley persuades Zimmerman to commit a murder for the Mafia in Paris in return for a large sum of money that he can leave to his wife and son after his death. He kills once without remorse but then finds he must accept a second assignment. Ripley, who at first seems completely cynical and manipulative, comes to admire and then love the stolid, family-bound German craftsman, while Zimmerman, at first appalled by the insane new life he's leading, discovers the exhilaration of committing a totally amoral act. The movie is both a thriller and a meditation on personal identity."
